We present a new technique for computing the electromagnetic field that propagates and is scattered in three-dimensional structures formed by bodies embedded in a stratified background. This fully vectorial technique is based on the Green's tensor associat ...
We study numerically two-dimensional nanoparticles with a non-regular shape and demonstrate that these particles can support many more plasmon resonances than a particle with a regular shape (e.g. an ellipse). The electric field distributions associated wi ...
We investigate the plasmon resonances of interacting silver nanowires with a 50 nm diameter. Both non-touching and intersecting configurations are investigated. While individual cylinders exhibit a single plasmon resonance, we observe uch ore complex spect ...
Confocal optical microscopy was employed to study the effect of surface-enhanced Raman scattering on individual single-walled carbon nanotubes covered with isolated gold particles. The gold particles with diameters between 10 and 120 nm were deposited in l ...
Surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) – electromagnetic waves propagating on the boundary between a metal and a dielectric and tightly bound to the interface – have been known for years. Recent progresses in microfabrication methods, near-field characterizatio ...
We use rigorous diffraction theory to analyze the force on elliptical cylinders made from silver as a function of the elongation. We find that, when the wires are illuminated at the plasmon wavelength and placed in a highly focused Gaussian beam, they are ...
First results and analysis of second harmonic generation with a Nd:YAG laser working in the long pulse, free running mode are presented in this paper. Second harmonic generation conversion efficiencies of up to 17.5% and pulse powers of 162W have been gene ...
We map in real space and by purely optical means near-field optical information of localized surface plasmon polariton (LSPP) resonances excited in nanoscopic particles. We demonstrate that careful polarization control enables apertureless scanning near-fi ...
Optical parametric oscillator including a semiconductor microcavity being configured to spatially localize polaritons of at least three quantized polariton energy levels to effect an optical parametric oscillation. ...
A confined, evanescent nano-source based on the excitation of Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) on structured thin metal films is proposed. With the help of a suitable cavity, we numerically demonstrate that it is possible to trap SPP over a spatial region ...
